Computer Based Testing

ASNT offers Computer Based Testing (CBT) for all of its exams. ASNT has partnered with Pearson Vue to provide a quality experience for our certification candidates.

How will the process change?

In the past, the collection of sitting fees varied based on the location of the exam. Sitting fees will now be collected at the time of the application through the ASNT website, along with the certification application fee.

Scheduling of exams through Pearson Vue: once you are approved to take your exam, Pearson VUE will send an email notification that the computer-based testing scheduling system is open. You will create a Pearson VUE account and schedule the computer-based examination at one of the network test centers, or at one of our partners.

Benefits to you with the new implementation of Computer Based Testing:

All fees paid upfront to ASNT for your certification and examination payments, ensuring a simpler and quicker process. You no longer pay a separate fee to the exam center.

Schedule your exam when it’s convenient for you, whether it be right after training, or you take some time and schedule in the future.

Thousands of test centers worldwide from which to choose, including ASNT Partners. Please note: you will still need to schedule through your Pearson Vue account to take an exam with the ASNT Partner.

With CBT you will have instant results and access to your exam results. Examinations with essay responses will not receive onsite results as they will require additional validation.
